Like her brother, Ms. Lux... er... HAYNES has an affinity for the old-fashioned-theatrical. Call it kooky cabaret. Think: THE DRESDEN DOLLS. REGINA SPEKTOR. Or, in terms of pure vocal comparison: HEATHER NOVA. MILLA.

Milla is MILLA JOVOVICH -- model, actor, and, in 1994, the woman who sang the songs on the album THE DIVINE COMEDY.

(Note: The two Gwynneth Haynes... er... SOPHE LUX songs I've chosen here for your consumption are the two that LEAST sound like Milla, Regina Spektor, or the Dresden Dolls. They are the least kooky; the least cabaret. Methinks them also the two best tunes on the record.)

The Kate Bush influence is obvious and totally irresistable. And I must say the homage seems deeply heart-felt. I had the pleasure to see the band perform at Joe's Pub in NYC last month. I found them utterly charming. I see so many bands in NYC, and honestly this group helped me feel more positive about the future of music. It was a rare pleasure to see such gifted artists performing such unique and well crafted material.

This band changed my feelings about theatrical music. I really like it!!! Their wit and tongue-in-cheek humor recalls early Eno,Bowie, and Roxy Music. Good band. "Waking The Mystics" is musically dense and at first hard to absorb in one listening. After a couple of listens the fun really begins as you feel privileged to have entered into this band's own private world of unique and satisfying artistry.
